Timaios (grekiska Τίμαιος, latin Timaeus) var en historieskrivare under antiken från på Sicilien, född omkring 350 f.Kr. Timaios tillbringade större delen av sitt liv som landsflyktig i Aten och dog vid hög ålder. Hans viktigaste verk var ett omfattande arbete om Siciliens historia från forntiden till 264 f.Kr. I ett annat arbete skildrade han Pyrrhos fälttåg. Några forntida historieskrivare, i synnerhet Polybios, uttalade sitt ogillande om Timaios historiska författarskap.
